Far Cry 2 then is creating 50 square km of a fictional country in the heart of Africa - a failed state where the civilian population has fled or is in the process of fleeing, and warmongering leaders battle it out for control. It%26rsquo;s certainly a game near the knuckle of current world politics. %26ldquo;We didn%26rsquo;t want to set Far Cry 2 in a real country for a couple of reasons, one being that we didn%26rsquo;t want the player to go to a real country then not have it be a country by the time the game ships, or something crazy like that!%26rdquo; continues Hocking. %26ldquo;A more important reason is that Africa is a huge continent and it has a massive amount of ecological and geological diversity. What was important to us was to capture the whole range of these - we want to have Serengeti-style grassland, savannah plains, central African Congo-style jungle, North African sandy desert; all the different ecosystems you see over the continent.%26rdquo;
